CURRENT DIVIDEND 4 PER ANNUM Investment Made by the 10th Earn From the Firit FIRST FEDERAL Savings & Loan Assn. of Medford The Public Library of Med ford and Jackson county will request an increase of $18,475 in it.i city-county budget for the fiscal year 1960-1961. Omar Bacon, head libra rian, said the increase would be used to start improving the branch libraries to the point where they will adequately meet the reading needs of county residents. Of the total requested budg et of $87,764, the county will be asked to give $46,264 and the city of Medford $35,700. The remainder will be made up of anticipated book tee revenues, which should in crease from this year's $4,200 to $5,500 next year, Bacon said. The state has already com- mittpri itsplf In rinnafp SSI) ndfl during the coming year fori the purchase of books fori rural use, but this sum is not counted in the budget, he pointed out. Present Fiscal Year For the present fiscal year the city gave $33,229 and the county $31,860 to the total budget of $69,289. Bacon said that more will be asked for the coming year from the county than the city because almost all of the budg et increase will be used for branch libraries. The largest single budget increase in the requested budget is an additional $12, 539 for salaries, which would make the total salary outlay $57,482, Bacon said. 1 The majority of this salary increase would go to librari ans in the systems seven branches so they would be able to work more hours per week. It is the library board's hope that the branches will be be able to slay open for longer periods of time during the coming year. Minimum Hours The board would like each of the seven branches to stay open a minimum of 20 hours per week and those in Jack sonville and Central Point, a minimum of 30 hours per week. All seven branches are now open for an average of from 5 to II hours each week. Bacon said a recent increase in use of nearly all of the branch libraries warrants ex panded services if they are to meets the needs of their re spective patrons. The increase in salary out lay would also be used to hire one new employee who would work at the main library, Ba con said. This employee would be a processing clerk who will be needed to help facilitate the movement of the increased number of books which the library has been acquiring lately through both gifts and purchases. Employs 24 Persons The library presently em ploys s total of 24 persons, of which four art students and nine are part-time branch em ployees. A smaller budget Increase will be asked for travel ex penses. This Increase would raise the total allotment for travel from $100 to $600. Ba son said it would enable main library employees to visit the branches once a week instead of once a month as is being done at present. More frequent visits have become necessary. Bacon said, because library patrons are now permitted to return books to any library in the 1 system, whereas until a few months ago, they had to re turn them to the same library from which they were bor rowed. This change has meant that library employees have had to distribute books, pick up used ones and take branch re quests more often than before, he said. Increased Purchase The library board also plans to ask the city and county for a $1,500 increase in funds to be used for the purchase of books bringing the total alot ment for this purpose to $10, 000. The increase would mean an estimated 3,600 new books could be purchased during the year, not counting the 7.500 books which will be pur chased for branch libraries with the $20,000 stale grant. Bacon pointed out that books, both new and old, do not usually remain in one par ticular library in the city county system, but are con stantly recirculated among all the libraries so that patrons of each will have the opportu nity to read them. The budget increase for books would not come from new monies, according to Ba con, but would be a transfer from an $1,800 budget item which has been used to rent books. Abandon Rental Item The library board plans to abandon this rental item be cause they have found that most of the books rented are eventually purchased by the library in the long run, and therefore they feel it would be more economical to buy them in the first place. Another requested budget increase will be $2,300 for equipment. Bacon said the funds would be used: to pur chased two signs for the main library so persons will be able to recognize it easier; to pur chase and Install a drive-in book return on the parking strip in front of the main library and to purchase a mimeograph machine, a cal culator machine, two desks and a typewriter, all for use in the main library. In addition to these Ihcy .would purchase two large and several smaller filing cabinets, which, Bacon said, are needed in several of the branch libraries. Penalties for Tree Damage Are Noted With the advent of spring weather, Chief of Police Charles P. Champlin remind ed Medford residents that penalties for damaging trees In the city can go as high as 50 days In jail and a $100 fine. Champlin recalled that last spring police received numer ous reports of malicious des truction to the downtown pot ted trees planted by the Med ford street tree committee. Although there have been few rases of damage to the trees reported so far this year, he said, the good weather could bring an increase In this vandalism. He said there are two char ges that can be brought against someone caught dam aging the trees. They are dis orderly conduct and the mali cious destruction of property. $306 Tofcen from Local bargain Store A burglar broke into the Home Appliance Bargain Store, 301 South Front st., Monday night and took an es- imated $306, according to Medford city police.
